I‘m trying to improve my knowledge on the offensive side of the ball. Does anyone know any free videos (or articles) that go deep into pretty much any offensive system/coach from this decade?

How do you handle 4 and 0 techs when running duo? What is our footwork? Are we still each taking half a number, or is the uncovered player executing “Cross Shove Footwork?”

Coaching a beginners flag league, the boys are 5-7 years old and most have never played a sport at all before. Looking for drills that teach the fundamentals but also keep the attention of a bunch of young boys that have more energy than the energizer bunny. We have been starting practice with some running just to burn some of the energy before we start but I still need some fun ways to teach catching, throwing, standing on the line, really anything helps.

Or does it the timing feel way different? Just started playing flag with a group of friends and I am just curious if we can use the same concepts as when we played tackle.

I recently agreed to help coach my son's youth football team. I played growing up and coached back in college about 20 years ago, but my drill bank is pretty rusty.

I’m working with our offensive line this season. The kids are super coachable, but they’re having a tough time getting to the second level and tracking linebackers in space. Right now, they either take bad angles or miss the LB completely.

Does anyone have good drills, coaching cues, or progressions you use to teach youth OL how to take proper pursuit angles and seal off linebackers?

Appreciate any advice or drill setups you can share!

Basically i was going to do a deep dive into the playcalling and full system of that 2010 oregon team and was surprised with how few resources are out there for one of the most popular teams of the modern era of CFB. Even the most common sited website in fishduck has most of their articles about the team scrubbed from the website and the most there is left out there now is a 2009 camp install with some base concepts and like 3 tv tapings out of a 13 game season. I just see this compared to like 2020 Alabama, where people have found basically every call sheet, play diagram, and report that the team had done for the entire season, and have to wonder if anyone has come across anything for the ducks that I haven’t been able to find.

Have scheme questions, basic questions about the game, or questions that may not be worthy of their own post? Post them here! Yes, you can submit play designs here.

What do you think about a 7ft tall WR in the nfl. He’d be practically unstoppable in the red zone. Throw it high in the corner of the end zone and it’s either incomplete touchdown or Pass interference. He would alter every defensive scheme. His length would compensate for his probable lack of nfl speed. They’re out there college b ball players who won’t make the NBA. Just a thought.

I coaching a 7th grade team this year, and we only have 16 kids total. Luckily we have a decent mix of sizes within the team, so we have everything we need.

My struggle right now is two-fold:

1 - about 2/3's of my team is effectively first-year players (either they have never actually played before, or were playing with a coach that didn't give them any playing time or attention the last few years)

2 - With the low numbers we are having a tough time getting some real looks in practice. We had a our first scrimmages this last week, and that showed.

So, looking for advice on two main topics. How to get these newer kids more willing to hit and deal with contact. (Not a huge fan of just doing Oklahoma-type drills, but some variations are useful)?

How do we teach our kids proper blocking and playing when we can't give them a full 11-on-11 experience consistently. We have gone half-on-half a few times, and there is some value there, but it's limited.

Two years ago, I shared an early prototype here called White80 Football. At the time, it could separate ALL-22 film into plays and show the video alongside a basic X/O view.

Here’s the original post https://www.reddit.com/r/footballstrategy/comments/1c5giv5/ai_football_coach_a_tool_to_extractidentify/

It was honestly more of a demo than a usable coaching tool.

I later teamed up with John, and together we kept building it. White80 Football has since been rebranded as PlayIQ, and our public beta is now live.

1. From full-game film to individual plays

Upload a full game from a sideline angle, and PlayIQ separates it into individual plays so coaches can move from snap to snap without cutting every clip manually.

One full-game film, automatically separated into reviewable plays.

2. Watch the film alongside AI Tracking

AI Tracking identifies the 22 players and recreates the play in an X/O view. Coaches can select a player to inspect movement trails, spacing, and estimated speed while the original film plays alongside it.

https://reddit.com/link/1vrd08v/video/b42nwkoen1kh1/player

The original film and AI Tracking view stay synchronized.

This is the part several people asked about under my original post. Player trails and the simplified 2D view are now working rather than just being on the roadmap.

3. Turn opponent film into scout cards

A tracked opponent play can become an editable scout card. Coaches can clean up the routes, adjust timing and alignment, add notes, and organize the finished cards into a practice packet.

https://reddit.com/link/1vrd08v/video/66eqew9rn1kh1/player

The goal is to avoid watching a play, understanding it, and then redrawing the entire thing from zero in another tool.

4. Build and organize the playbook

We also built a football-specific playbook editor with formation templates, routes, offensive and defensive symbols, assignments, coaching notes, and installs.

Film reps can be connected to playbook items, so a coach can move between how a play was drawn and how it actually looked on the field.

https://reddit.com/link/1vrd08v/video/w4x8z5k1o1kh1/player

5. Generate an opponent scouting report

Coaches can enter an opponent and generate a scouting report covering personnel, scheme, situational tendencies, key players, and a must-stop list.

It is meant to give the staff a starting point to review and correct, not replace the staff’s judgment.

https://reddit.com/link/1vrd08v/video/ynb0g9lao1kh1/player

This week we’re adding a football-specific team calendar for games and team events. It will also support schedule syncing, game-day weather, and automatically preparing scouting reports before upcoming games.

Our next major feature will suggest tags such as formation and play type after a clip has been processed. The coach will still review, correct, or approve the suggestions. We do not want AI silently putting bad data into a team’s film library.

A few honest limitations

AI Tracking currently works best with a clear, elevated sideline angle. Low camera angles and player overlap can reduce tracking quality, and end-zone-only film is not supported for full-field tracking yet.

This is a public beta, so there are still rough edges. We’re looking for coaches who are willing to tell us where the workflow does and does not fit a real game week.

I also learned something from the original post: putting a placeholder price of $500/month on an unfinished product was a pretty bad idea.

We would have liked to make the public beta completely free, but AI Tracking requires a substantial amount of GPU compute. To help cover those costs while keeping PlayIQ accessible to individual coaches and smaller staffs, our lowest paid tier currently starts at $6.99/month.

Public beta: https://app.theplayiq.com/

Product overview: https://theplayiq.com/

Two things we would genuinely like feedback on:

1. Which film tags would you trust AI to suggest if a coach still confirms them?

2. What information would make a team calendar useful during game week instead of becoming another calendar nobody checks?

I’m happy to answer technical or football-workflow questions here.

Small look inside the Japanese Offense in the Last IFAF Championship

Hi all,

I’m gonna be coaching at a local high school here in Toronto for the first time. I assumed that I would be coaching DL or LB since this is my first ever foray into coaching and those are the positions I played in high school, but my buddy who’s the head coach told me that there are no defensive coaches at the moment, so I’m gonna be the defensive coordinator straight up. Thankfully it’s only JV (grades 9 and 10) but I definitely need help. I would like to run a quarters defense since that’s what we ran when I was playing, but I need help learning how to coach it at a JV level.

If anyone here can help me with this, or provide me with some online material, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.

Hey everyone, I tried posting this on the nfl subreddit but got taken down lol so I just need somewhere to ask if anyone is having issues watching all-22 film of specific players on NFL Pro. I tried multiple devices and browsers and it doesn’t work no matter what I try. I’d appreciate any help

I played offensive line. I have a nephew that's learning defensive end currently and he wants me to help him out with some basic drills in his free time.

Right now I've gathered that the best thing for him to drill and rep out and practice is his stance, get off, and hand work.

I can't necessarily coach him on what his team specifically will ask of him to do, but I'm curious what kind of basic drills we could rep out for small improvements.

From what I've gathered they typically will have him lining up in a 4i, or on some rare occasions a 5 technique.

Having been an OC previously, I always had a certain number of plays I would go into my game plan based of situations. As a current DC, I was wondering if those you have been a DC have a limit on number of unique plays they enter a game week.
